Abstract: An implement for training the recti abdominis muscles,
concentrating thereon workload while preventing the
workload from being distributed to the antagonists, such as
the iliopsoas muscles; it is constituted, for example, by a
frame (31) with three sides: a front one (33), for resting
the hands, and two lateral ones, at the rear ends of which
an elastic band (1) is anchored and acts as a fourth side;
the elastic band is adapted to activate a contrast (RE) in
the exercise that consists in flexing the trunk forwards

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring digital data
(11) from a source application (10) in a computer (30) to
a destination application (20) in a computer (30) through
one of plural types of transfers (41, 51). The apparatus
automatically determines (12) how a transfer can be made
by automatically analyzing (44, 45) the receptivity of the
destination application (20) to a particular type of
transfer. The types of transfers used are clipboard
transfers (preferred), drag-and-drop transfers and
specific transfer methods specified in a database (23).
The apparatus also automatically makes the type of
transfer to which the destination application (20) is
receptive. The method establishes the identification of
the destination application (150) by having the user
designate a destination application from a list of
possible destination applications (146 through 149). Then
the method automatically transfers the digital data (11)
through the use of several different types of transfers
(41, 51z0. Specifically the method uses, clipboard
transfers, drag-and-drop transfers, and specific transfer
methods specified in a database (23). Further, these
transfer methods are ordered in such a way so as to
maximize their efficiency.

Abstract: A molded case circuit breaker includes a generally "Z" shaped intermediate latch
structure which has upper and lower substantially planar sections that are each bent at
an angle with respect to a center pivot section. The upper portion of the intermediate
latch includes one or two latch surfaces. One of these latch surfaces engages the cradle
of the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, to latch the operating mechanism
when the circuit breaker is closed. The other latch surface engages a trip bar or an
intermediate latch bar, which is rotated by the trip unit when an overcurrent condition
occurs. The lower portion of the intermediate latch structure also includes a latch
surface which may engage a trip bar. This latch surface is sloped such that when the
latch surface of the trip bar is moved along this sloped latch surface, the trip bar rotates.
This rotation of the trip bar adjusts the spacing between the trip bar and a bimetallic
strip or magnetic armature of a thermal and magnetic trip unit to allow the rating of the
circuit breaker to be changed in the field. The pivot portion of the intermediate latch
structure includes two mounting tabs, one on either side of the latch. The mounting tabs
have a generally rectangular cross-section and, due to the angled relationship between
the pivot portion and the upper and lower portions of the intermediate latch, the latch
pivots on an edge of the mounting tabs. This edge is aligned with an angular opening in
the mechanical frame to mount the intermediate latch. The mounting tabs also retain a
biasing spring which biases the intermediate latch toward the cradle and biases the trip
bar or latch bar toward the intermediate latch.

Abstract: A product cryogenic liquid mixture comprising oxygen and nitrogen having a
chosen mole fraction of oxygen is produced by expanding, typically through a
valve 16, a pressurised stream of a precursor fluid mixture, which may be liquid
air, having a mole fraction of oxygen greater than said chosen mole fraction, and
thereby forming a vapour phase depleted of oxygen and a liquid phase enriched
in oxygen. The vapour phase is disengaged from the liquid phase in a phase
separator 18. A stream of the vapour phase is condensed in a condenser 22.
The condensate is collected in a storage vessel 26 as the product cryogenic

Abstract: An RF plasma system employs frequency tuning to change the frequency of an RF
generator (14) within a frequency range to match the impedance of a plasma chamber (18).
Forward power and reflected power magnitudes are obtained from a bidirectional sensor (16).
The ratio of reflected power to forward power is obtained for one frequency, and then the
frequency is changed. The tuning algorithm compares the ratio of reflected to forward power
at the new frequency with the ratio obtained earlier. If the new ratio is smaller, the frequency
is changed again in the same direction, but if larger, then the frequency is changed in the other
direction. These steps are iterated until the ratio of reflected to forward power reaches a
minimum. The tuning algorithm can be implemented in hardware or in software.
